You can buy a pen that you can supposedly draw the rear defrost lines back in with... Haven't tried it but I read about it.

Honestly... I forget which stang. I'll check and that's an ea82 fwd strut Going to get the 4-runner struts or 4wd struts soon to try and get some of the travel back. And thanks. ginger its what the previous owner called the car!

Okay! One rear strut done! Fronts done back in august... Lol. Will get the other one in in the morning. Set was for a mustang. 25 bucks. Just some quick snaps of the artist formerly known as Ginger.

I did a search but since it ignores 3 letters or less, H alloys after hard to search for. (so is xt btw) I have set and wanted to see if they looked good in gold or bronze.... Or? Anybody got pics?

The xt dl and impreza base rate the same on the .gov site. It says both get 29 hwy (they both get better) xt has that wicked aerodynamic advantage. So yeah it might do better with the ej18. The skinny stock tires and high (50psi) air pressure helped I also coasted a fair shake and got drafts from big rigs etc.

yes and now that I read it back I see that. thanks. I have a mechanic friend to beat for steering me wrong on that old chevy 3.1 too. it would have to get past the rings to do that... so I have a separate tick and leaky gasket. sorry for the stupid mis-informative post.

my axle slid right out of my front hub. No beating required. But... Use a puller instead. Shouldn't have to remove the brakes, at least I didn't.

Love it! Be careful though, next it will be sleeping on your girlfriend's couch.

Yeah I won't have an extra 200 bucks to get it done for me. I did look into it. and it seems fair, it will just be too much with buying all the parts. but. if I get stuck I may send it to him.

another thought... my 86 Xt dL is a beater in a sense. so no covers. the 88 XT GL still has the seat belt tool bag and a complete (nothing broken) interior, nice paint and some shiny wheels. in a sense of sustaining a stock look and function this one will retain the covers. different strokes for different folks, attitudes, and cars.

can I count on you guys to get me through? not planning to do ANYTHING till this spring. but I have wanted an EJ in the 86 XTDL for a long while and keep putting it off for wiring. I even bought an RS EJ25 in 08 and then re-sold it bacuse of my lack of confidence. I have read everything, but I know I will need back up and nobody lives close. anybody got a FWD swap?

my 88 xt gl has the tick because of an inake gasket leak. coolant in the oil will cause lifters to not pump up. just a thought. (it's a small leak too barely loses collant and only smokes/steams a tiny bit)

running open on my 86 xt DL since I got it in 08. it has both sat and run and had leaks and I have yet to have any issue with no covers. (the back half of the covers is still on, as I have had no need to remove the cam sprockets)

haha awesome! that's gonna make a neat bar!

Yes. I'm sure I need to see it. Lots to learn still even now.

my XT DL has already gotten me 40 hwy MPG. cruising @ 55-60 Amen! a redline a day keeps the tick tock away.

I love DLs

The difference is the tensioners. Requires a tool/workaround to hold one of them slack. Otherwise it's the same. Can't Recall the specifics at this moment.

Trying to picture fender mirrors on the 86 xt.... I love them but I am but sure it would suit the retro-futuristic xt. This Wagon will be awesome, and I'm not really a wagon lover!

Another vote here for trying a longer bolt. Working fine here. Blow out the bolt hole to be sure its clean. Mybolt was too long and I need a couple washers.

Or he's got a low rust car like my dl.

I marked that vid to my watch later list. Somebody post a link to the miles fox videos? Please!

Do you really need the bushings? I had adj cam gears on my old zx2 and the bolts held it in place just fine. Really all it needs is the slotted holes, right? (and the index marks of course.) :edit: after reading your other thread I got my answer.

Sorry for the off topic, but subaruby doo has to be my favorite screen name yet.

cute. lol
